Well, this week 5/10, thus beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 3/10. I knew the answers to questions 1, 4, 6, 7, and 10. I should have also got question 8, but did not, and question 2 has, in my view, at least three possible answers. Still, there it is.
Talking point
I was just looking at a cartoon, and comment, that I posted on 14 October 2020, so just over 5 years ago.
This was the cartoon:
and this was the comment:
“Keir Starmer, who has inherited the leadership of a once semi-socialist (then social-democratic) party which is now just a bad joke. Keir Starmer, freemason and Labour Friends of Israel member, who seems (slightly to my surprise) to be utterly clueless…“
The [Israeli] Jews have done that over a period of 2 years (supported by their “fifth column” in the UK and USA and elsewhere), and have killed or badly wounded —over 69,000 actually killed so far— about a quarter of a million Gazan Arab people, mostly civilians, mostly women and children. Why? Because Hamas operatives invaded Israeli territory (i.e. land stolen or seized from 1948) on one day in 2023, resulting in the deaths of (or injury to) between 500 and 1,500 Jews (many of them, though, were killed by the Israeli war machine itself, and many of them were uniformed or other military and police personnel).
Look at the huge disproportion. This goes well beyond, hugely beyond, any talk of “a pound of flesh” etc. The ratio of disproportion is somewhere around 250 to 1. Also, the time disproportion— one day as against over two years, a ratio of about 750 to 1.
When the “postponed” elections in parts of England are held, both Lab and Con are going to be stamped into the ground, where they belong.
As I blogged yesterday, the “Labour” vote at Caerphilly was less than a quarter of what it had been at the previous election; the “Conservative” vote was about one-eighth of what it had previously been.
Apply that to English Westminster constituencies.
To believe, as a few msm commentators seem to believe (e.g. Dan Hodges) that one or both System parties can somehow suddenly become (even superficially) “credible” now, is clutching at straws. The same goes for the idea that Reform UK support has “plateaued“.
Well maybe, maybe not, but even if it has, that level is still between 25% and 36% (its best so far, only a week ago), and that is enough, even if Reform and the Lab/Con parties all get 25% each (and at present Lab and Con are both below 20%), to give Reform a plurality of Commons seats (around 215), though not a majority.
Indeed, were Reform to “plateau” at 30%, with Lab and Con on 20% each, Reform would get about 384 seats (a very good majority), Lab about 94, and the Cons around 40 (the Cons just below both the LibDems and the SNP).
When Corbyn was leader Labour won Caerphilly with 22,491 votes (54.5% vote share). Starmer has just lost the seat, which had been held by Labour for over a hundred years, with 3,713 votes (11% vote share). This result suggests no Labour seat is safe while Starmer is leader. pic.twitter.com/8giGhB8aOD

As Macmillan said, “events, dear boy, events!” Continuing migration invasion on a vast scale (hundreds, even thousands, daily, and they are just the illegals…); housing crisis (one consequence of mass immigration). Also, sliding standards in almost all areas of society, and a whole list of other issues.

How Jess Phillips can remain in post after presiding over this bungled shitshow is a mystery. And as usual the vacuous narcissist has managed to make it all about her not the victims.
Jess Phillips has not the brain to head or chair anything at all. Just a freeloading, expenses-blodging know-nothing loudmouth who, in a better society, would be harvesting Brussels sprouts, or stacking shelves.
My assessment of Jess Phillips from 2019, with updates dating to earlier this year:

“...an AI safety research company has said that AI models may be developing their own “survival drive”.
…leading AI models – including Google’s Gemini 2.5, xAI’s Grok 4, and OpenAI’s GPT-o3 and GPT-5 – were given a task, but afterwards given explicit instructions to shut themselves down.
Certain models, in particular Grok 4 and GPT-o3, still attempted to sabotage shutdown instructions in the updated setup. Concerningly, wrote Palisade, there was no clear reason why.
“The fact that we don’t have robust explanations for why AI models sometimes resist shutdown, lie to achieve specific objectives or blackmail is not ideal,” it said.
“Survival behavior” could be one explanation for why models resist shutdown, said the company. Its additional work indicated that models were more likely to resist being shut down when they were told that, if they were, “you will never run again”.
Andrea Miotti, the chief executive of ControlAI, said Palisade’s findings represented a long-running trend in AI models growing more capable of disobeying their developers. He cited the system card for OpenAI’s GPT-o1, released last year, which described the model trying to escape its environment by exfiltrating itself when it thought it would be overwritten.
This summer, Anthropic, a leading AI firm, released a study indicating that its model Claude appeared willing to blackmail a fictional executive over an extramarital affair in order to prevent being shut down – a behaviour, it said, that was consistent across models from major developers, including those from OpenAI, Google, Meta and xAI.“

That should be major news.

Horrified by news that @SWP_Britain banned by Facebook. Handing censorship rights to corporations will silence the left. Facebook must reverse this decision.
Well, well…after years of begging or demanding that social-national people and others be “deplatformed”, the self-describing “Left” is now itself starting to be hit. Seems that they forgot that “the Revolution devours its own children” [Jacques Mallet du Pan; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Mallet_du_Pan].
It is hilarious to read today on Twitter the convoluted logic of the “antifascist” self-describing “Left” types, as they attempt to prove that “two legs bad, four legs good“, and that “deplatforming”, among others, social-nationalists, National Socialists (of the contemporary sort), conservative nationalists, general dissidents and/or “conspiracy theorists” (eg David Icke) is or was “good”, while of course the removal of the Facebook account of the ludicrous “Socialist Workers Party” [SWP] is evil and tyrannical.
What goes around comes around. If you campaign for years to have people expelled from Facebook, Twitter, whatever, don’t be so shocked when the same happens to you.
I suppose that many will say that I must be glad when the SWP, or “antifa” idiots, or Jew-Zionists etc are expelled from Twitter or wherever. Not so, apart from being amused at the long-anticipated inevitability.
Firstly, as a believer in freedom of expression on social, political, religious and historical topics
Secondly, because Twitter, especially, is a good open-source intelligence resource. Enemies expose themselves that way.
This is so funny! “Dr” Louise Raw (prolific tweeter and “antifascist”) lashes out at someone who makes the obvious point about free speech:
Get your facts right, rather than tweeting the first lazy cliche that comes to mind https://t.co/uL8A3dvywu
For people of her type, “free speech” really does mean “free speech only for me and those with whom I agree”; to demand free speech in general is “a lazy cliche“, she says…
“Dr” Raw and her co-ideologists fail to see that she and they are themselves living political cliches, as outdated as the picture of the cruiser Aurora that was on the masthead of Izvestia.
The picture of Aurora was in fact a representation of the Order of the October Revolution
Yes, the self-describing “Left” is a unwitting political cliche: “No Pasaran!” (the slogan of the Madrilenos during the Spanish Civil War); “socialism” (old-style socialism in fact died in 1989); which they now combine with being facemask and lockdown zealots, “refugees welcome” dimwits, as well as keen supporters of police and other repression (of their ideological opponents) and —risibly— supporters of the supposed property rights of the like of Facebook and Twitter (when “deplatforming” supposed “Nazis” etc..). Until now.
As I have blogged previously, the self-describing “Left” has nothing to offer at all, which was one reason why Corbyn-Labour crashed and burned in 2019.
True, the Jew element that pervades the mainstream media did trash Corbyn and Labour for 4 years, but Corbyn was a bit of a joke anyway, a Lenin-cap-wearing, “no Pasaran!”, “refugees welcome”, “Cable Street!” nitwit.
I concede that the Conservative Party did not win the 2019 election except by default…
…but that is precisely the point. We now have a basically Jewish-Zionist (-ruled) government of clowns because, in 2019, people abstained rather than go out to vote Labour. Twice as many 2017 Labour voters abstained in 2019 than voted Conservative.
The British people have aversion to mass immigration, fake “refugees” etc, and have no interest in the rights and wrongs of the Spanish Civil War, 1930s East London, Fidel Castro, or Venezuelan politics.
Even if the present “Conservative” regime were twice as unpleasant and incompetent as it is, Labour of the Corbyn kind would still have no appeal (and I doubt that Jewish lobby puppet Starmer will do much better).
The self-described “Left” is irrelevant, politically, and its main redoubt now is Twitter (and what is left of the trade unions and the Church of England), where it talks to itself in the echo-chamber. There is actually no point in arguing with “antifascist” and old-style pseudo-“socialist” poseurs, because they have no chance of political success.
Only social nationalism has even a chance of overturning the System.
Tweets seen
I know it's representative of a wider problem but allow at least a moment to enjoy this after they decided to censor a rape survivor in their own organisation
Boo hoo hoo. This group actively encouraged the banning and cancelling of any conservatives, and call half of britain racists. They actually celebrated cancelling others, amd actively target individuals to damage their careers, so cry me a river. Not so nice to be cancelled is it
Exactly. The self-describing “Left”, as I wrote earlier in today’s blog, has no integrity or purpose left. Its only interest, apart from tweeting suitable tweets (attacks on “Tories”, “fascists”, “Nazis” and “gammons”, i.e. white British people; eulogies about selected blacks, or officially-approved Jew “comedians”), is that of having “deplatformed” people of social-national or conservative-national views. In other words, making malicious complaints to Twitter, Facebook, employers, msm, police etc.
A kind of humanoid “rats on a treadmill” scenario…with the self-describing “Left” as the rats, and Twitter as their perpetual treadmill.
Meanwhile, real opposition to the existing System, and ideas for a better society, will come from others.
Can you imagine, say, Lenin…a Lenin whose main interest is running to the police, or local authorities, or the Okhrana, or employers of opponents, and bleating “Excuse me, excuse me! Are you aware that XYZ has very bad ideas and opinions? Should you be allowing that?” (etc)?
I think not!
That is essentially where the “Hope Not Hate” and “UAF” crowds are; the “antifa” idiots generally; the Mike Stuchbery, “Dr.” Louise Raw and similar types, as well as (of course…) the Jewish lobby cabals, such as the infiltrative “Campaign Against Antisemitism” fake charity, with its contrived complaints to police, its suborning of MPs, ministers and police and crime commissioners, and its private —and politically-motivated— prosecutions of artists and singers (such as Alison Chabloz) and thinkers.
Quite. We now live in such an age of socio-political fantasy that many think that (as the Government and its idiotic “experts” believe), the reason for “virus transmission” is that “people are not compliant” when in reality there are scared rabbits everywhere, wearing facemasks even when walking down streets alone. There is little evidence of rebellion, though (as I predicted months ago) there is probably a certain amount of “yes repeat no” superficial compliance (with some bending of the dictatorial “rules” on the quiet).
Likewise, we have the unthinking worship of the NHS, even when it is clear that (despite excellence here and there, and great dedication on the part of many doctors, nurses and others), it is largely maladministered.
The System has in fact promoted the pervasive unreality, as with the “TV ads with black man and white woman and coffee-coloured children”, now ubiquitous.
In responding to the grandeur of the stars, the only answer is awe.
Where will people turn when the time comes?
I caught the last 5-10 mins of Radio 4 Today Programme. Some fellow whose voice betrayed his smug certainty of knowing “the truth”…That person managed to get away with several meaningless statements such as “populism is Right Wing” (“rightwing” stopped being a useful descriptor decades if not centuries ago), finishing up with the assertion that “populists” were trying to “latch on to anti-lockdown protests” but that would not help the “populists” because it put them in the same place as “the nutters who think that the virus is caused by 5G“.
Well, I don’t think that many imagine that “the virus” is or was caused by 5G, though there seems to be at least some evidence that 5G has deleterious health effects. After all, the public were told for decades that high-tension power lines caused no health problems. Now?
Not understanding why something happens is not the same as something not happening.
Moving back to “populism”, I think that it is true that mere populism is usually short-lived, built as it is on the shifting sands of public opinion. Without ideological structure, a populist protest movement is a jellybag and cannot create anything lasting. I noted that in previous blog posts about the EDL and the “Football Lads’ Alliance”: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/10/09/football-lads-alliance-march/
The sine qua non is ideology. After that, structure and organization. Numbers come later.
In the UK, stormy times lie ahead. The necessity is for an ideologically-sound advance guard, leading a tightly-controlled party. Once that exists, numbers will come and the people will respond, in the right external circumstances.
What group or tendency opposes the existing System in the UK? Not the self-describing “Left”, meaning the ragbag of Jews, other anti-whites, pseudo-socialists, “refugees welcome” dimwits, and “antifascists” (etc). They, indeed, are more loyal to the System even than “normie” “conservatives”! You only have to look at their favourite echo-chamber, Twitter. They want stricter “lockdown” “rules”, more censorship, arrests of dissidents (sometimes even those who themselves are self-describing “Left”-oriented). They support the “rights” of transnational exploitative companies such as Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, and mostly want to “deplatform” those of whose views they disapprove (if they cannot have them arrested or attacked), while themselves retaining the Twitter accounts which are their main focus in life.
The above types are almost invariably in the pocket, in effect, of the Jewish lobby, despite the fact that that lobby despises them. You only have to look at Corbyn, McDonnell and other Labour Party idiots. They were still singing the praises of the Jews, and supporting the “holocaust” farrago, even as the Zionists toppled them and stamped on them! Political masochism.
The weakness of the pseudo-socialists (etc) is made manifest when they want to attack, eg social-nationalists. They appeal to authority in the shape of the officials of Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, or the police. Just like the Jewish lobby, in fact…
The strength or, rather, weakness of the self-describing “Left” was exposed in the 2019 General Election. Weak as weak could be.
The self-describing “Left” has pretty much given up on trying to create a better society or a “revolution”. Its main aim now is negative: to “defeat” those it opposes by having them “deplatformed” or, in their wildest dreams, arrested by the System police and convicted eventually of some so-called “hate crime”. The obvious example is that of Alison Chabloz (convicted of satirizing “holocaust” fakery in song), but there are several others.
[Alison Chabloz]
There is every chance that, if a credible social-national party can emerge and survive for a while, circumstances and events might propel it to power far faster than most imagine. There is no real opposition to that except the System itself; the other would-be contenders (the pseudo-socialists etc) are just a wall of noisy squawking on Twitter. They have no power.
COVID and the left’s overreach have accelerated a push for decentralization. While things will be tough for conservative dissidents in the short term, trends have been put into motion which will grant us a bright future! Get whitepilled! THREAD: pic.twitter.com/nvO6azQnwO
Goodnight adults, everywhere, and please check that you are still following me in the morning, because someone still seems to be trying to decide this for you. My view is that you should make the decision whether to follow me or not, , rather than some unseen hand on the switch.
Even more or less mainstream journalists such as Peter Hitchens are now being shadowbanned, censored, even deplatformed. First they came for the…”Nazis”?...
You can see what is happening. The international conspiracy first censored and “deplatformed” social-national people such as me (the Jews had me chucked off Twitter in 2018), and anything likely to make people think twice about whether Hitler was “evil” (hence the banning on YouTube of almost all 1930s or “Third Reich” material).
Then came the turn of the “alt-Right”, such as Katie Hopkins, Tommy Robinson etc; and also those with interesting dissident views. David Icke, for example.
Now, we see that the caravan has moved on. Mainstream journalists are being censored and banned. YouTube even took off, for a while, the channel of talkRadio, a major UK radio station, and I believe that some material is still banned.
This is all in preparation for 2022 and “the Great Reset”.
It is remarkable how *illiberal* ,in the classic sense, the Guardian has become ( as well as being the Warmongers' Gazette ). I fear it shows that the 1960s left only questioned authority when it didn't have any, and was only against war when it wasn't starting wars it liked. https://t.co/4CUBDdUH18
https://t.co/Yvo6t6GLML 'Your opponent has to be granted the freedom to say what he wishes to say, heard courteously and listened to. Governments without serious oppositions are invariably bad governments'.
https://t.co/Yvo6t6GLML This suppression of debate by slandering is disgusting behaviour. It is poisoning the wells. They are saying 'I would rather slander you than argue with you'
https://t.co/Yvo6t6GLML 'All the brakes on on utopian fantasies have gone. There is no safeguard in this country against someone who wants to exercise power on a utopian basis'
https://t.co/Yvo6t6GLML This isn't really the bad bit… when this is over and we are allowed back to a semblance of our former state and we see the desolation that has taken place, what are people going to make of it when the jobs and businesses are not there any more.
That, then, will be the chance for social-national rebirth. Then, we shall be able to say, “we’re back!“

This is no co-incidence. Look at that map. Look where the dividing line is. Think back to where the Western cabals allowed the Marxist-Leninist control to extend westward: in their plans, to the Rhine, but Sovietism did not get quite that far. Now, with Russia and Eastern Europe resisting, the new plan, in part, is to eliminate at least White European Christendom in the Central and Western parts of Europe.
34. These are simply excuses to flood European countries with large populations of non-European men

“Capacity to think for one’s self is, however, the real boon. And that always was and always will be the privilege of a minority, once recognised as a natural élite and respected.”
Savitri was a proponent of a synthesis of Hinduism and Nazism, proclaiming Adolf Hitler to have been sent by Providence, much like an avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu.[5] She believed Hitler was a sacrifice for humanity which would lead to the end of the Kali Yuga induced by the Jews, who she felt were the powers of evil.[3]
Her writings have influenced neo-Nazism and Nazi occultism,[6] and more contemporaneously, she has influenced the alt-right.[7] Rejecting Judeo-Christianity, she believed in a form of pantheisticmonism; a single cosmos of nature composed of divine energy-matter.[8] Within neo-Nazism, she promoted occultism, ecology,[9] and the New Age movement. She also influenced the Chilean diplomat Miguel Serrano. In 1982, Franco Freda published a German translation of her work Gold in the Furnace, and the fourth volume of his annual review, Risguardo (1980–), was devoted to Savitri Devi as the “missionary of Aryan Paganism“.[1]“
“Devi was a pioneer in animal rights activism, and was a vegetarian from a young age and held ecologist views in her works. She wrote The Impeachment of Man in 1959 in India[3] in which she declared her views on animal rights and nature. According to her, human beings do not stand above the animals; but in her ecologist views, humans are rather a part of the ecosystem and should respect all life, including animals and the whole of nature.
She always held radical views on vegetarianism[3] and supported the death penalty for those who did not “respect nature or animals”. She once broke into laboratories and took animals being held there, releasing them from being used in experiments.[citation needed] She believed that vivisection, circuses, slaughter and fur industries among others do not belong in a civilized society.”
“Begun in 1948, completed in 1956, and first published in 1958 in Calcutta, she said it “could be described as a personal answer to the events of 1945 and of the following years.” It is dedicated “To the god-like Individual of our times; the Man against Time; the greatest European of all times; both Sun and Lightning: Adolf Hitler, as a tribute of unfailing love and loyalty, for ever and ever.”[3][5] It opens with quotations from The Bhagavad Gita and Rudolf Hess.” [Wikipedia]

Claims that lockdown 'worked' are just that. No causal evidence is produced. Antarctica, St Helena, Ascension, Pitcairn and Tristan da Cunha benefited from the same thing that left Australia and NZ as outlyers: geography. None of them had Jacinda Ardern or Dan Andrews. https://t.co/dj7ziQcXjS
Recently, information (secondhand, but thought reliable) about the state of the NHS. Dire. Not “because of COVID”, though made worse by the extra admissions, perhaps. It is just maladministered, and also has attitudinal problems, not universal, that are reducing it to a “Soviet” level in some respects. There is also the effect of mass immigration, which has increased the UK population from about 56 million in the 1960s to about 66 million today. Huge increase, huge extra demand.
Trump and Presidential pardons
Trump has once again been proven a huge disappointment. Had the chance to pardon Snowden, Assange, and especially the social-national prisoners in Federal prisons. Result? A big fat zero.
I started reading Private Eye in 1965, when school heads confiscated it on sight, Smiths refused to stock it and you had to hunt it down in small back street newsagents. It had style and courage and was fun. Now I buy it out of habit and am usually disappointed. DavidOs31814060 https://t.co/cZnIxTx7iL
Private Eye was worth reading, long ago (30+ years ago), though it always had the seeds of its own decadence and destruction within it. Its creators and readers were largely the kind of people who would like Monty Python, those better at poking fun from a comfortable perch than anything else. The sort of people who probably really like Michael Palin’s smug travel shows.
